Reliable Power Supply Under 1K

[pratik03]

Hi,

I want to buy good power supply strictly under 1k mark to power following components:-

Intel Pentium D 930 3.0 GHz Processor
2 HDDs
1 DVD drive
1 TV tuner card

Please suggest some good options

i don't think there are any good branded PSUs available inside 1k. check for zebronics platinum series. if you can increase budget, get one of these:

1. Gigabyte Superb 460W
2. FSP Saga II 400W

[Piyush]

well if you really want a reliable one, then the cheapest available here is FSP sagaII 350W @ 1.5k

but i think you can go for a zebronics PSU keeping in mind that you wont do heavy upgrades in future

[mitraark]

Zebronics would be sufficient enough for your PC.

How many sata connectors does ur PSU have..???

BTW if u r looking for a cheap PSU then u should look for Frontech 600W PSU at 0.6k.
They are the king of of cheap PSUs and even last longer than other brands followed by Zebronics, Intex and IBall.

well at this price point in India , you will have to risk getting only unreviewed untested PSU. There is no way of knowing how clean current the psu is providing.
that said I am using VIP 400R (280W) PSU @ 550. It comes with 3 years warranty.

2 sata connectors. For other, you know what i did.

Frontech -> Changed it thrice and finally ended up with Zebby. For me, a big no for frontech, as 90% of chances it blow up, that too within 4-5 months. Trust me, i assembled around 50 systems where i used to put frontech and out of those, most of them were changed the PSU at very short span of time.

[ajai5777]

Yeah..zebronics is good in desi PSUs

If you need a reliable power supply, you need to go for atleast FSP Saga II 350W @ 1.5k

[furious_gamer]

^^ It is famous these days and at the time of my purchase, no FSP's. So finally opted to go for low-end PSU and settled with this. But soon i'll upgrade it to VX550W or Seasonic 600W or higher.

But u have 2 SATA connectors then how are u running 3HDDs. You must also be having a DVD Drive too i suppose. And that in total makes it 4 SATA connectors. So, how do all these 4 SATA drives work on just 2 SATA connectors.

[furious_gamer]

lol..... SATA Connectors - related to motherboard
SATA Power connectors - using 4-pin-Molex-to-sata connector.

Gotcha....

[saswat23]

Yeah, i actually mean SATA Power connectors of PSU..

Is SII sereis diifferent than regular Zebronics PSU ?

Previously I had been using Zeb regular PSU for this rig, It just gave up after 7-8 months

[furious_gamer]

Not different, it have additional 2 SATA power connectors, that's it.

[pratik03]

does anyone aware of this Brand ?

[saswat23]

Dont go with any brand. Go with Zebronics or VIP.

there's another good PSU brand which makes cheap PSUs ie it's colorsit.

Op can get 450W or 500W colorsit PSu around ~1k

[topgear]

I've not checked that so can't say for sure but it should be available at local shops.

The most good thing about colorsit PSU is they have two fans - one at the bottom of the PSu and another at the back and this efficient air flow management keeps the PSu cool
